CE: What projects in the El Paso area have your worked on?
EB: I was hired on a contract basis by El Paso Water Utilities (EPWU), helping with the expansion of water to colonias outside the city and projects that EPWU was doing with the Texas Water Development Board doing design and inspection. When I first started, I worked for a company that did all the engineering for Horizon City as party chief on a surveying group. Horizon is incorporated now; I worked on the original surveying on that land and probably wouldn't recognize it now, back then it was just desert. I worked for Robert E. McKee General Contractor as an estimator on a water treatment project as a resident engineer under construction. I was also a resident engineer for the Robertson-Umbenhauer Plant where there's a big, blued-colored metal chemical building, that was one of my standout projects.
